Full schedules, slow payers

A physical therapy clinic can have a packed treatment floor and still feel tight on cash. Visits are billed, payers process on their own clock, and therapists, front desk staff and rent are due every cycle. Adding a therapist or a new location makes that timing even tighter for a while.

Two products come up often. A business line of credit is a reusable limit you draw from. A merchant cash advance is a single lump sum repaid from future revenue.

Line of credit: a buffer for the billing cycle

If your main headache is timing, a line keeps a buffer on hand. Draw during a slow payment cycle, repay when reimbursements arrive, and keep the limit ready for the next one. It also handles supply reorders and smaller repairs to tables or modalities. More on our business line of credit for physical therapy page.

Merchant cash advance: for a one-time step

An advance fits projects with a clear cost:

Which way to lean

A quick test: will you need this money again in a few months? If yes, the line probably fits. If the need ends once the project is done, an advance is often simpler. Some clinics keep a line for billing gaps and use an advance only for expansion. For either product, you see the full repayment amount and schedule in the offer before you accept.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a line of credit good for waiting on insurance reimbursements?

Often, yes. A line lets you draw while claims are pending and repay once payments arrive, then reuse the limit.

Can I fund a new clinic location with an MCA?

Yes. A new location is a one-time project with a defined cost, which is a common use for an advance.

Do cash-pay and insurance deposits both count?

We look at deposits into your business bank account over about three months, whatever the source.

Do you require tax returns?

No. We review about three months of business bank statements and start with a soft credit pull.

Can an owner-operator therapist apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply.

Can I use a line and an advance together?

Some clinics keep a line for billing gaps and take an advance for a single expansion project. What fits depends on deposits and existing obligations. Each offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, so you can compare them side by side for your clinic.
